Whenever I meet my dear friend Hank, he would always broach the subject of Haiku. He even brought with him the volume on glossary of words to convince me. I actually owe a lot to him on keeping the interest on Haiku for without his instance, it would have died a natural death. Here goes;
Revelation
Mulling in my thoughts
World without Revelation
Would life be the same
It is a small village in the kecamatan of Tambusai, Kabupaten Rokan Hulu in the Province of Riau, Sumatra. During the Padri Wars of 1830's , Tuanku Tambusai (aka known as Fakeh Hj Muhammad Salleh ) fought the Dutch forces together with Imam Bonjol and Tuanku Rao in West Sumatra and in Northern Sumatra .The last defence was in Benteng 7 Lapis,Daludalu which fell in 1838. He escaped capture and came to Malaya. He was buried in Rasah in 1882.

Dear Hal,
Great! I find it most apt. It's an awareness and a discovery. For with revelation it opens up and we're likewise informed.
Now is September Height's month. A prompt is given daily for the whole of Sept. We're in mid-stream. There are 15 more prompts for you to come in every day.Your 'revelation' haiku is perfect. Carry on the momentum. You needn't come in every day but why not some days!
Hank
Hank,
I will try not to lose interest, that much I promise. You have been a great encouragement, thanks.
